NERVE'S FILM ISSUE 

"When it comes to truthful depictions of sex and relationships, where are progressive moviemakers going?"

Nerve.com addresses this question in a special Film Issue, online through March 7.

Included in the issue are the following articles/essays:

Donald Sutherland's Buttocks, or Sex in Movies for People Who Have Sex
by Jonathan Lethem
A manifesto for the new adult cinema.
"I'm calling for filmic moments that lure and confuse me the way sex can, at its best. I don't want to choose between scrupulous, grainy, documentary realism (or the new and unsavory hi-definition nudity I've been warned about) and fantasy, imagination, exaggeration, cartoons -- I want them both...C'mon, show me something the mention of which will make my head turn at a dinner party thirty years from now."

Lights, Camera, Lots of Action
by Harriette Yahr
A report from this year's sex-obsessed Sundance Film Festival.
"The same week a SpongeBob video was castigated as gay propaganda and PBS pulled a children's program featuring a lesbian couple selling maple syrup, the Sundance Film Festival unspooled a slate of films that showed no fear."

Suppressed Desires
by Bruce LaBruce
Five lost films that addressed taboos -- and paid the price.
A reconsideration of Bernardo Bertolucci's La Luna; Pasolini's Salo: or the 120 Days of Sodom, from a script by Roland Barthes and Sergio Citti; Lou Adler's Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains; Dusan Makavejev's Sweet Movie; and Paul Morrissey's Forty Deuce.
